Last night I gave you Ball State giving Central Michigan 21 points as a best bet and unfortunately Ball State let CMU march down the field with a little over a minute left and allowed them to backdoor cover. But it is what it is. So without further adieu here are the rest of my picks for week 11 in college football.
My next best bet is on TEXAS A&M at home giving Mississippi State 19 points. I am not a big fan of Johnny Football but I must admit he is the catalyst that makes the Aggies so hard to beat. Last year A&M beat the Bulldogs in their own backyard by 25 so I see no reason why they can't cover this spread in their own house. Mississippi State is not only 0-4 ATS on grass but also 0-4 ATS their last 4 games, while A&M is on a 2 game ATS run. I just can't make a case here for the Bulldogs who are on their second consecutive road game but there is no doubt in my mind that Manziel will have a big game at home. So I am making Texas A&M a BEST BET.
My last best bet this week is on the COLORADO STATE at home giving Nevada 9 1/2 points. I like this game for a few reasons, the Rams have been playing good football and did give Boise State 2 weeks ago all they could handle and I for one was impressed. The Wolfpack are absolutely horrific on the road as the are 0-5 SU so far this year. But as usual my best reason for picking Colorado State is that the last time they played each other in 2010 when Nevada had Colin Kaepernick they totally embarrassed CSU beating them 51-6 and Kaepernick as we all know is not there anymore and I love revenge games and this one has revenge written all over it. So to me this add up to making Colorado State my last BEST BET.
My regular plays this week are - Missouri on the road giving Kentucky 14 points. Oklahoma State at home giving Kansas 31 points. Finally I like Navy at home giving Hawaii 17 points.
My underdogs this week are - San Diego State on the road getting 6 1/2 points from San Jose State. I also like Stanford at home tonight getting 10 points from Oregon. Finally I like Kansas State on the road getting 3 points from Texas Tech.
As for over/unders - I like Houston/UCF over 64, UAB/Marshall over 67, and last but not least Kansas/Oklahoma State over 53 1/2 .
Well that's it for my college picks for the week.
As always remember to bet with your head and not over it.
